Winging a 1971 K5 Blazer L96 6L90 Swap

[HotRod4me]

Picked this 6.0L L96/6L90 motor out of a 2019 Silverado 2500hd with 4 miles on it this fall.

Frame is painted and ready for assemble.

Tearing down and inspecting the NP205 Transfer case. Found some pretty good instructional videos on youtube for rebuilding this piece.

Added a Rough Country 2" suspension lift. Rebuild both axles and swapped out the open read end with the one from my parts truck into my build, since it had a stock posi rear end. Installed all new spicer u-joints to handle the additional power I'll be putting to the ground with the L96. New drums in the rear and drilled and slotted discs up front to stop this beast when it gets moving.

Hey bud. I just bought a 72 Blazer and plan to swap it. I am not far from Beloit. I was wondering if you could share with me your source on the dropout motor and trans. My place in Elgin Il does not currently have one. I am itching to get started on mt Blazer to have it ready before winter.

What was the cost on the combo?

I put a L96 and 6l90e in my 76 Buick Regal and want to repeat the same setup in my Blazer for simplicity. This combo cost me $3800 for the motor and trans in2020

Thanks for any help in advance.
